    Noticed some fine stuff spitting out side of chipper today around cover where you change blades. A piece of casing had broken away leaving a small gap . Was wondering if this was a common occurrence with this model or has something solid got in there? theres no damage to blades.
  6. Manager of sawmill we used to cut for. ”I’d cut more with my flute!!”
  7. Pm sent. i would go for ST8 . You will recover the price difference in productivity in two months
  8. Both nice nimble tractors for winching or yard work but would be a bit light for pulling forwarding trailer? vallmet would be easier to guard and engine and gearing well suited to forestry type work. new Holland probably easier to sell on and get parts for. Have had Fiats in the woods and liked them
  9. Same around here, evenings and weekends. theres loads of forestry roads they could use but they like to be seen. i think some of them are indulging there Lycra fetishes at the same time
  10. You need to bring pics of numbers etc in to a good engine re-manafacturers. they will advise on best options and will know if engine is commonly used in Uk. It may well be model used in some generators or compressors. also google search ‘engine for Vermeer bc625’ , and check out USA forums like tree buzz
  11. I wish all sycamores would have small leaves ? sorry!
  12. Can’t see fwd being any good on grass, especially with weight on back and/or towing chipper. Also, would drives take as much punishment as rwd set up?
  13. Sounds and looks amazing! Would like to go to that next time
  14. Long shot but maybe he’s totally satisfied but lining things up for future work. of the clients that pay promptly it’s no biggy to do an extra bit of admin now and again when you consider all the hassle and admin the slow payers generate
  15. I googled that show, sounds awesome! 9 hours from here unfortunately
  16. I suppose if it was simple it would be overrun with Uk and paddies trying to escape the dampness. what are the winters like?
  17. Haven’t noticed builders yards as yet . road workers seem to work well into the evening. Is it a two hour lunch or a kind of split shift? weve started using battery saws at home and a battery pole saw , great up to 4inch or so then bring on the petrol power. Haven’t tried battery hedge trimmers, we avoid hedge trimming unless work is quite or for regular good customer, hard on arms on shoulders . Back pack battery would have to be easier. I’d say hedge trimming would be heavy on battery to keep blade momentum going so large capacity battery would be a must
  18. They had nice Pellenc battery trimmers btw
  19. The crew that were trimming the hedges all over the holiday park we’re in would just abandon their platform each evening. “ah sure the kids might enjoy playing on it!”
  20. Thanks. likes his pegs!
  21. Yes. Maybe an iveco
  22. Am on holidays in Carnac Brittany. have only seen one chipper 6 days (I know, sad person). That was in a yard in Napoleon with landrover and a mewp (wife wouldn’t let me pull in) also saw o blue right hand drive crew cab transit in Auray. also a John Deere compact with loader on truck with tree logo between auray and Carnac. Just wondered if they were anyone on here.
